1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

   Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Drain off excess fat if desired. Add the olives, green chili peppers, tomatoes with green chili peppers, taco sauce, and refried beans. Mix everything together, lower the heat, and let the mixture simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.

   Spoon a thin layer of the meat mixture across the bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish. Lay tortillas on top, add more meat mixture, then sprinkle with cheese. Continue alternating layers of tortillas, meat, and cheese until the tortillas are all used up, finishing with a layer of meat mixture and cheese on top.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned and bubbling.
